WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Man Hands On Keyboard

CARLOS S. SnapIT Grad &
FEC Member

I didn't want to spend 4 plus years pursuing a degree if I had to put myself into financial debt, so I decided to drop out and look for a quicker, less expensive way. I needed a more hands-on approach.

Through the tech training, taught by an experienced software engineer from the local tech firm SnapIT Solutions, I discovered a passion for programming that I otherwise never would have been exposed to.
